Secondary craniocerebral trauma in acute disorders of the cerebral circulation

As many as 69 records were reviewed of those patients predominantly in older age bracket, in whom acute cerebral circulatory disorder (hemorrhage in 26, infarction of the brain in 8, transient cerebral circulatory disturbances in 35) was a cause of their falling and incurring a craniocerebral injury. The studies made suggest that prior history, somatoneurological examination, information provided by various investigational modalities, especially computerized tomographic imaging, all might serve to make the diagnosis of associated brain injury more precise.
